Located at the top of a small hill in secluded Big East Fork Valley, the Pond Cottage (Love Shack #2) is nestled in the middle of nature.Also known as the Chelsea Hotel, this cabin has two bedrooms: #411 (the Janis Joplin Room) and #424 (the Leonard Cohen Room) memorializing an infamous rendezvous at the Bohemian Chelsea
Hotel in New York City in the Spring of 1968. After Janice's death at age 27 in 1970, Cohen who was a resident here from '69 to '73, was inspired by Big East Fork Creek to write an elegy to the first Queen of Rock and Roll. You can read about it in a Rolling Stones article. Two hiking trails start just outside your door hiking.

The Neighborhood:
Pond Cottage has no close neighbors. It’s a rural paradise that's just a short walk from 8-acre natural lake populated by beaver, bass, and blue gill. Lake Gratitude is a tranquil oasis where you may fish or picnic at the Lakeside Shelter. Wildlife abounds. Slip on your creek shoes and explore our miles of Big East Fork Creek or lace up your hiking shoe and trek a 5- or 10-mile loop to Timberlands park on the Natchez Trace National Forest. Big East Fork Road is among the best bicycle routes in Tennessee !

Uber and Lyft operate here, but a personal or rental vehicle is recommended. Local livery services can take you to and from Nashville Airport (40 miles).
You may rent a bicycle from the Adventure Center at the Center for Sustainable Stewardship located just across the road.
Other Things to Note:
Please check in before dark as the Pond House can be difficult to find at night. As soon as you go into the driveway, make a right and go up the hill. The Pond House is to the right. Do not attempt to turn around on the parkng lot at night, so re-orient your car to point out and down the hill during daylight hours.
The price quoted is for Lodging only. If you are having an EVENT you must send a message to receive details and pricing. The internet is via fast fiberoptic wi-fi .hotspot. You may not use the indoor fireplace as our insurance does not cover its use and it has not been recently inspected.
Interaction with Guests:
At Pond House, you will have solitude amidst abundant nature, but should you wish to meet new friends, the Center for Sustainable Stewardship is close by and always looking for new friends! We generally leave our guests alone, but may visit at an appropriate time to say hello.
